Focus Description:

The assistants roll out a large nickel-plated rack onto the arena, on which glass is fixed in a large wide frame, and turn it over several times. The illusionist knocks on the glass, proving that it is intact. Then a nickel-plated ladder is substituted to the frame, along which the performer boy climbs up and knocks on the glass. Then the middle part of the glass is closed on both sides with small screen plates with a cut. The assistants again turn the frame over several times.

The boy, having parted the screen from the back side of the frame, crawls "through the glass". On the other hand, assistants help him out. The boards are removed. The illusionist again shows the frame, and the boy goes backstage (Fig. 187).

Props:

Frame with glass, rotating in a stand-shelf.

Ladder to the frame.

Two screens attached to the frame.

Focus secret:

The secret of the illusion is exactly the same as that of the trick"Glass piercing". In Fig. 188, A shows one half of the frame with glass lying on it (indicated by a dotted line). In Fig. 188, B, the glass is shown separately. It has two semicircular cutouts: large on top, smaller on the bottom. so that a child can crawl into it, who first puts his hands and then his head, assistants immediately, helping the boy, pick him up when he emerges from the hole covered with a black velvet frame (Fig. 188, B).

The glass can slide freely inside the frame along the guide strips. On fig. 188, And they are indicated by dots. To prevent the glass from arbitrarily rolling inside the frame, a locking latch 3 on a spring is attached to it. If the latch is slightly pulled out of the frame, it will release the glass, which will fall down, exposing the hole. When the frame is rotated, the glass will slide down, and the valve will not allow it to move. So that the cutout is not noticeable at the moment of passage, a small black velvet screen is attached to the frame in front and behind in the middle, consisting of two halves, one on top of the other. The curtains are sewn with a rubber band that keeps them closed, but they can be easily pulled apart on each side into two halves.

To make it more convenient to pass through the frame, a small nickel-plated ladder is attached to it. The boy, standing on the right step, first knocks on the glass, when the screens are put on the glass (its middle part), he sticks both hands through the curtains and the cutout, and then his head. The assistant quickly takes the boy out from the other side of the frame. The frame rotates on axles that are attached to it and are equipped with ball bearings placed in the stand. By rotating the frame, the assistant, as soon as the screens are put on, releases the latch; the glass slides down, revealing an upper cut-out under the cover of a velvet screen, through which the boy crawls.

For convenience and ease of movement of the stand along the arena, four roller wheels covered with rubber are attached to it from below.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
